Keller Postman Partner Warren Postman joined The Wall Street Journal’s The Journal Podcast to discuss how Keller Postman’s representation of thousands of individuals in arbitrations against Amazon led the company to abandon its arbitration clause.
Keller Postman has filed roughly 75,000 individual arbitration claims against Amazon on behalf of Amazon Alexa users who were recorded by the device without permission. As a result, Amazon has stopped requiring its customers to pursue claims in arbitration—customers may now file class-action suits against the company in state or federal court.
As reported by the Wall Street Journal, Amazon has abandoned its arbitration clause as a direct result of Keller Postman’s revolutionary arbitration practice. Amazon’s move is the latest corporate response when faced with claims by Keller Postman clients. In these matters, we filed roughly 75,000 individual arbitration demands on behalf of Amazon Alexa users who were recorded without permission, in violation of state law.
